Please Excuse my spelling ,I am Dyslexic thank you for your understanding. To day Bev convinced me that after spending 4 weeks ( going in to my 5 ) working with 2 days off that a birding walk out on to Tommy Thompson Park ( or the Leslie st spit just for you John , ha-ha) wood be a good Idea . And we came up with some good birds!
Getting out of the car at 7:30 am we wear treated to a calling N.Cardinal which is a rare bird out on the spit and a great way to start off, other good birds wear 2 Killdeers, 47 Red Wing black birds, 35 Tree sparrows, B.C. Chickadees 2 , 400+ Long Tiled ducks, 17 Wight winged scoters and 2 Black Scoters , their was 1 adult Lesser Black back Gull out on the ice with 2 G.B.B.Gulls . their wear 8 migrating Crows and at 9:45 in till 9:55 we watched (me in amassment) 2 migrating C. Ravens, I have seen C. Raven out on the spit before but never 2 together, we watched them fly in from the west of the city once they saw the spit they started to fly in caracals and slowly head north west towards the DVP and out of sight even thought I had them in my scoop. Wow what fun that was, thats what I love about birding always something new! Tommy Thompson Park is found south of the Lake shore Blvd. hear in Toronto on Leslie st and is open only on the weekends and holidays Craig.S.A.McLauchlan Toronto/Ont/Canada/World.
